In the Japanese puppetry television series Sherlock Holmes (2014–2015), Baynes is a pupil of Beeton School as well as Holmes and has a strong sense of rivalry against him. Holmes congratulated this inspector and believed that he would go far.Ī version of Inspector Baynes appears in the video game The Testament of Sherlock Holmes (2012), in which Baynes is employed by Scotland Yard. In fact, Baynes had misled even Holmes as he used a method similar to one that Holmes often used when he arrested the wrong man and provided inaccurate information to the press in order to lull the true criminal into a false sense of security. In this story, the reader finds that despite working along different lines, they both arrive at the correct conclusion and solve the case at the same time. He is the only official policeman in the books to have ever matched Sherlock Holmes in his investigative skills. Inspector Baynes of the Surrey force appears in the two-part story " The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge", subtitled (i) "The Singular Experience of Mr John Scott Eccles", and (ii) "The Tiger of San Pedro".
